Skokholm Island Lighthouse, Wales, U.K.

Built in 1916. The octagonal masonry tower is 59 feet tall and rises from a two story keeper's house. The light signal is a white or red flash, depending on direction, every 10 seconds.

 

Skokholm Island is a small island off the southwest tip of Wales that was purchased by a wildlife trust in 2012. The 4 rooms in the keeper's quarters are available for rental although the island can only be accessed by boat in good weather. Our tour group was unable to land because of rough seas and some fog.

 

Located 5 miles northwest of St. Ann's Head.
